AI companies are developing much-needed corporate strategies, but the results are wildly contradictory. Just this week, Deloitte announced it would be rolling out Anthropic's Claude to all 500,000 employees. On the very same day, the Australian government forced Deloitte to refund its contract because the AI-generated report was riddled with false citations.
